Scalability of memory looks pretty good:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9BK7pg8se_iM1hEYk9UcFY4WnM/edit?usp=sharing

The change in _total_ memory consumption with increasing cores is:

2 -> 3: +2.67 Gb
3 -> 4: +2.71 Gb
4 -> 5: +2.26 Gb

Since each copy of this mesh takes up about 2.2 Gb, these numbers are
scaling almost perfectly.  My machine started swapping on 4 cores last
time, now it can run on 5 cores with no problems.
